  • jessevitelli Mama Vitelli (@jessevitelli) reported

    Rude that my small drop of serotonin today was going to be Overwatch 2 and it is not working

  • TaeKwonzy TaeKwonzy 🥋 (@TaeKwonzy) reported

    I Guess I’m going to have to get a Career in CyberSecurity because Overwatch 2 is receiving a DDOS Attack and I want to play this damn game brb

  • timotheehal daniela (@timotheehal) reported

    the way i bought the overwatch 2 beta and never got into it because of a glitch on my playstation.. still pissed but i will be playing the actual game tomorrow if i have time

  • Hexudus Hexudus (@Hexudus) reported

    I knew there was NO WAY I'd be able to login, and play Overwatch 2 without issues. I am still disappointed.

  • izanagiUwU IZA 🦊VtuberEN | 2.0 coming soon 🤍🤍 (@izanagiUwU) reported

    Nvm I forgot my pc cannot stream overwatch without it dropping frames anyone know to fix it I have i7-8700k and a 2070 so I should be more than capable to play 😭 I hate my pc so much might just play Val or Pokémon today as apex also has the same issue 😭

  • WhoDutch Dutch_Who_arts (@WhoDutch) reported

    @PlayOverwatch what a joke. Why does a console need to sign in for Overwatch 2? You've made it more difficult to play. Some of us stop playing WOW and didn't transfer GAuthent. Should have had a back up like texting code to play until new setup

  • otter_jock otterjock (@otter_jock) reported

    @GoNintendoTweet There's no DDos attack. It's a cover up. Blizzard took the servers down themselves because the overwatch shop was offline.

  • issaiah1332 Issaiah Wallace, DNP, PMHNP-BC (@issaiah1332) reported

    @PlayOverwatch It’s a bit frustrating that Overwatch 1 players essentially subsidized OW 2 only for such a botched release (taking servers down for OW before OW2, rolling out a marginally upgraded game, servers not running, etc).

  • curdleddrip curdled drip (@curdleddrip) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS So with no updates or anything from u are we just going to try tomorrow because at this point only a handful of people and big streamers are play yes I know about the ddos but come on overwatch didn’t have this problem until events started

  • gh0stleyy 🌸 renae 🦇 is missing stream (@gh0stleyy) reported

    Love watching the four streamers that I follow that are playing overwatch 2, actually play the game, while I’ve been in queue for three hours with endless errors

  • codqueenxo1 CodQueen 🖤 (@codqueenxo1) reported

    @eggy_luffy Overwatch 2 is being DDoS you are NOT missing out :(

  • ItzBoboLol BoboOnYT (@ItzBoboLol) reported

    Went from being 900 in queue, to 2000 just to have my game get an error and now its back to 20000th in queue, day 1 and this games already a ******* **** show #Overwatch2 #Overwatch #Blizzard

  • chaiitii_ 🌿👑Chaii👑🌿 (@chaiitii_) reported

    WHAT ********- I GOT DOWN FROM 20000 TO GOING INTO THE GAME, GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE AND NOW IM AT A QUEUE OF 40000 #Overwatch2 #Overwatch

  • mintyfreshlife The Nanny Named FranXX (@mintyfreshlife) reported

    Overwatch 1 DPS queue was a training program for OW2 login queue.

  • virtuallucifer_ Sebastian Nightingale (@virtuallucifer_) reported

    Thought I could go play Overwatch as is my comfort game but the servers are not working, is giving me an error every 2 ******* minutes and I need to go and wait in line with another 20000 people. Do you want me to kill myself @PlayOverwatch? Is that want you want?

  • Pikavidss Pikavideos (@Pikavidss) reported

    Overwatch 2.. I hope the problem will be solved soon.. its been more than 2 hours that I try to get in.. I understand server issues.

  • sora82628 sora (@sora82628) reported

    @UtdConor02 @Vengeful_Katana @PlayOverwatch Did you find a way to fix it because the same ******* thing happened to me and i had A **** LOAD of money in overwatch

  • noblesponds Adam (@noblesponds) reported

    overwatch 2 still telling me unexpected error when the error is expected at this point

  • tom_derosa22 Tom D (@tom_derosa22) reported

    @BlizzardCS I'm on xbox and played overwatch 1 for its entire lifespan and have a bunch of cosmetics and none are showing up in the gallery, is this a known issue? Also don't have access to characters from OW1.

  • squenixninja MusicJoshua (@squenixninja) reported

    Any Overwatch 2 players making fun of or saying “sounds like a you problem” to prepaid phone users…eat a sick **** *****! @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch you guys are fouls for doing this to people. Note I have a post paid phone. Doesn’t make it right.

  • JayRyan84 JRyan (@JayRyan84) reported

    To the permavirgin or permavirgins allegedly currently engaged in a ddos attack against Overwatch 2's servers: what's it like getting negative *******?

  • albin100000 Myran (@albin100000) reported

    @PlayOverwatch fix your servers you have literally made billions of overwatch 1 buy more servers or Im gonna smash my monitor

  • _Hyogs_ Hyogs (@_Hyogs_) reported

  • klawlr kaely (@klawlr) reported

  • LightinOfficial Lightin (@LightinOfficial) reported

    Technical difficulties aside and ignoring the fact that I was literally thrown out of my ranked game due to "unexpected server error", overwatch 2 actually feels fun

  • eillewilliams ells (@eillewilliams) reported

    was gonna try overwatch 2 but seems like it’s having some issues lmao i’ll stick w fight or fright for now

  • simpleduality dualitySpookified ∞ 🟩 (@simpleduality) reported

    blizzard says overwatch 2 servers are being ddos'd but i doubt it probly underprepared for launch day due to the amount of scandals they keep creating

  • Helixzo Ace (@Helixzo) reported

    @battlenet Heya just want to tell you I'm having problems with your service When I put in my phone number into Battle net for overwatch 2 it isn't seeming to work or send me really any security code as it should
